Can factory equipment alarms appear in a radio dispatch console?

Last updated:

Yes. RadioPro Dispatch can display supported equipment inputs through its telemetry features when the appropriate I/O hardware, network connection, configuration, and licenses are provided.

Requires compatible hardware and configuration. Notifications depend on the available delivery service.

For example, an equipment alarm contact can connect to a supported Advantech ADAM module. Dispatch monitors the input and displays its configured state. A configured custom action can also issue a notification, such as an email or SMS, when the necessary delivery service is available.

The installation guide documents fixed-site ADAM-6050, ADAM-6052, and ADAM-6060 I/O modules. Your technician must verify the module, electrical signal, contact/interface arrangement, and input configuration for the equipment being monitored.

A practical setup involves defining the input, giving it a recognizable label, configuring the normal/alarm behavior, and testing both alarm and recovery. Also decide how operators will handle a disconnected module or loss of network communication.

This does not mean every PLC, machine protocol, or building-management platform connects directly to RadioPro. Additional interface equipment may be needed. RadioPro's indication is an operational aid; any required machine protection or independent safety controls remain part of the equipment's own system.
